Ok, here goes... Airplanes have fixed operating costs per month/year and direct operating cost per hour. Generally people would buy a 1/Nth share to spread the fixed costs between N people, thus bringing the cost per hour down. The higher the number of shares gets, lower and closer the cost per hour gets to the DOC, which is great, except the more people you have in the group the more likely you'll be fighting each other to use it on nice sunny days. In an ideal group you'll have a lot of members but only a few who fly regularly.

The original question was how many active group members would be ideal. The answer is one. RTFQ.
